A few blowdowns on Hi-Cannon, otherwise all clear. |

Hi-Cannon's ladder is very challenging for dogs, although Stanley made it up on his own. Also many steep rock scrambles could be tough for small or older dogs. Descending Kinsman Ridge Trail is also very steep & rocky. |

 | Comments: |
Hi-Cannon is very rough, steep & rocky, but extremely scenic, most definitely worth doing & only met one ascending hiker, quite a contrast to the many on the busy Lonesome Lake Trail later. Northeast Cannonball has some interesting views.
